Why Wide Open is different from the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne

Wide Open is a suburban pocket inside Newcastle upon Tyne, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Newcastle upon Tyne job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourNewcastle upon Tyne page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
